Scuba Cancun

Did a «Discover Scuba» class & dive to MUSA with Scuba Cancun — my instructor Lars was the best! I tried a similar course in Thailand about 7 years ago and could not achieve neutral buoyancy since I was nervous the whole time, but Lars was so patient and detailed with his teaching, he made me feel very comfortable and I did a lot better this time. Had such a blast that now I plan on getting certified — too bad I didn’t realize this earlier otherwise I would love to have Lars be my instructor!
The «Discover Scuba» class was small — just me and one other person. On the dive we were joined by my husband, a certified diver, so it was great having just 3 people in our group for lots of personalized attention. On our vacation my husband did dives at Cozumel and in Dos Ojos with other dive shops, and he felt that Lars and Scuba Cancun were the best of the three: Lars constantly had our safety as top priority and kept checking everyone to make sure we were okay, but the other shops did not give that high level of attention.
The MUSA dive off Isla Mujeres was excellent! Honestly I wasn’t sure how exciting a bunch of statues underwater would be but the hubs wanted to go; it ended up being a cooler experience than photos show. Although it didn’t have a bathroom, the dive boat to the site was a good size and there was plenty of room to spread out (unlike the Cozumel boat where another company fit the same number of people on a boat ¼ the size).
I highly recommend Scuba Cancun and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for getting certified or for a dive trip!

Had a great review on Trip advisor so I contacted them a few weeks before our trip to Cancun. Patricia responded to my email within an hour and with a few back and fourth responses my dives were reserved. Took the bus to Hotel Dos Playas and wound my way back to the grass shack on the beach and was greeted by Roberto. There were a few reviews I read that he was a great dive master so I felt comfortable. I was told I would be the only diver due to rough seas. I was prepared for the conditions so I was more than ready. We did 2 reef/​drift dives and lucky to spot numerous turtles, eagle rays and my first encounter with 3 black tip reef sharks. Saw morays and rock fish. Roberto was quite the dive master. Friendly on the boat and very observant in the water. The water was rough but the boat captain and mate were exceptionally attentive with me and my gear. I had an exceptional time! Highly recommended!

I searched long and hard for a good company in Cancun to take us scuba diving. After searching TripAdvisor, I found Cancun Scuba Center. I was not disappointed.
I was in contact with Patricia for about a month prior to our arrival in Cancun. She was helpful in explaining their offerings and super responsive. She helped set up a trip beginner dive for four in the local coral reef area.
Upon arrival, we met up with her and a few other instructors. They were great; clear, concise, and not pushy — which is rare for Cancun. We took the theory course by the hotel pool and then practiced in the pool. Then, once we were sure we were going to go forward with the dive, we paid (No Amex, FYI) and were given some Dramamine. We were then ferried to Manchones Grande, a reef off of Isla Mujeres (which re requested) and went for it.
The drive was life changing. The instructors took their time with us and made sure we were comfortable with every step of dive before proceeding further. They also kept a close eye on my mother and sister in law which was very reassuring. (One of the instructors took them both by hand and took them around the reef). The others stayed behind to make sure the group was in good shape.
Overall, it was an amazing experience. I would highly recommend anyone interested in going for a dive in Cancun to check them out. You can drive there, take the bus, or a taxi. The hotel they are situated in offers free parking. The center also offers advanced scuba lessons and certifications as well as snorkeling.

I was referred to SCUBA Cancun by my hotel, I was very impressed with their staff, very first class. The gear was in good condition but getting a little old however the expert dive masters made up for it. Louis was fantastic! Thanks for two great dives!

Everyone speaks English – great for tourists!
I came in for a beginner scuba lesson, which includes all gear, practice in a pool, and a guided tour in the reefs. Our instructors Fred and James, and all the boat crew, were very helpful, patient, and attentive to all the students.
Just remember: classes begin at 12 noon, but everyone runs on «Mexican time», so don’t be surprised if it starts late.
